Real Chevrolet Corvette C8 Customer Builds & Installations
See real Chevrolet Corvette C8 customer cars equipped with genuine Vertical Doors, Inc. Vertical Door Conversion Kits and ZLR Door Conversion Kits.
These are customer vehicles from Vertical Doors, Inc. Lake Elsinore installations, mobile installations, independent shops, and owner-installed projects.
The archive includes years of Stingray, Z06, E-Ray, ZR1, and other Corvette C8 builds. New ZR1X, Grand Sport, and Grand Sport X customer cars can be added as those builds become available.
See What the Corvette C8 Looks Like When the Doors Go Up
Product photos can show you the hinge. A real customer car shows you what the conversion does to the entire Corvette.
Different colors, wheels, aero packages, body styles, and build directions can completely change the finished look. A black Z06 with the doors raised has a different presence from a brightly colored Stingray, and a ZLR conversion creates a different motion from the traditional Vertical Door system.
That is why we keep sharing real customer cars. Before you decide what direction to take your Corvette, look at cars that have already been built.
Your C8 does not have to look like anyone else's. Start with real builds, then decide what looks right on yours.
Real Cars, Real Installations, Real Owners
The Corvette C8 customer-build archive is made from actual vehicles connected to Vertical Doors, Inc. products and installations.
Depending on the build, an article may include the customer, exact Corvette model, location, installer, photographs, video, product information, part number, or original installation date.
Some cars are nearly stock except for the door conversion. Others have wheels, carbon fiber, aero, lighting, wraps, widebody components, or additional aftermarket work.
How These Corvette C8 Builds Were Installed
Vertical Doors, Inc. Lake Elsinore
These Corvettes were brought to Vertical Doors, Inc. in Lake Elsinore, California for installation by the company that manufactures and supports the door conversion system.
Mobile & Professional Installations
Other C8 builds were completed through eligible mobile installation or experienced independent shops in different parts of the country.
Owner & DIY Builds
Some mechanically experienced Corvette owners install their vehicle-specific VDI system themselves and later share the completed car with us.
Two Different Corvette C8 Door Movements
The customer-build archive includes two different Vertical Doors, Inc. door conversion systems.
Vertical Door Conversion Kit
The traditional Vertical Doors, Inc. system opens the Corvette door outward first. Once the door reaches the hinge system's stopping point, it can be raised vertically.
ZLR Door Conversion Kit
The ZLR system moves the factory Corvette door outward and upward diagonally in one continuous motion.
The ZLR door does not open rearward.

Why We Keep the Older Corvette C8 Builds
Some of the customer cars in our archive were installed years ago. We do not want to erase that history simply because product titles, model-year ranges, photographs, or page formats have changed.
Older installations show how long these systems have been used on real Corvettes and how the C8 aftermarket has changed since the mid-engine Corvette first arrived.
As older articles are updated, useful historical details such as the original installation date can remain while product and fitment information is brought up to the current standard.
